The Dallas Stars could have forward Jason Robertson back in the lineup for Game 1 of their second-round series against the Winnipeg Jets.
Robertson sustained a knee injury during the team’s regular-season finale on April 16 and missed the entire opening round against the Colorado Avalanche.
The 25-year-old skated with Wyatt Johnson and Mason Marchment during Tuesday’s practice.
“He’s close,” Stars coach Peter DeBoer told reporters, according to Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest. “We’ll see tomorrow morning.”
Robertson played in all 82 games during the regular season and finished second on the team in scoring with 80 points (35 goals and 45 assists).
For Winnipeg, injured forward Mark Scheifele and defencemen Josh Morrissey and Logan Stanley are all game-time decisions.
The Jets host the Stars for Game 1 of their second-round series Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. CT.
